What to Consider About Assisted Living in Simpsonville

Assisted living communities in South Carolina are licensed and regulated by the Department of Health and Environmental Control. The agency provides information on care requirements, admission, disease control and staffing.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Simpsonville

 

  • The cost of living in Simpsonville is 5% lower than the national average. Seniors pay approximately 2% less for health care and 5% less for housing. These rates may make the city more affordable for those with a limited income.
  • South Carolina is a tax-friendly state for seniors. The state doesn’t tax Social Security benefits and provides a $15,000 income deduction for seniors ages 65 and older, so older adults may be able to keep more of their money at the end of the tax year.
  • Violent crime rates in Simpsonville are comparable to the national average. Property crime rates are nearly 18% higher. To make up for these rates, security at assisted living communities provide increased protection to keep seniors safe.
  • Summers in Simpsonville are hot and humid, with highs around 90 degrees. Winters are short and mild, with lows around 31. The city only gets around 3 inches of snow, which is ideal for seniors who can’t tolerate the cold.
  • Seniors who require transportation in Simpsonville can receive assistance from Senior Solutions. This organization provides rides for daily errands and to and from medical appointments and local senior centers.
